You hit the bullseye with Karajan's Wagner anthology. It really is superb and shows Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic at their finest. Their Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde is drop dead gorgeous and probably the finest ever. Karajan was the master of the long line and is amply demonstrated here. Superb performances that capture the greatness of Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic at their mid '70s best.
Excellent video. Great choices.

Knappertsbusch is the wagner rec to go for
Cleavland Orchestra under George Szell. Bar none.
Yes, everything Cleveland and Szell.
